Holocaust Museum LA presents a talk with Sammy Savos and Susan Gal, illustrators of Holocaust graphic novels. 

Savos illustrated “The Girl Who Sang,” a powerful graphic memoir about a young Jewish girl's fight for survival in Nazi occupied Poland, which was written by Estelle Nadel with Bethany Strout.

Gal is the illustrator of “The Tower of Life: How Yaffa Eliach Rebuilt Her Town in Stories and Photographs,” written by Chana Stiefel. 

The biography of the woman who created the “Tower of Faces” at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., “The Tower of Life” traces Yaffa’s childhood in Nazi-occupied Poland to her adulthood, where her life’s mission was to recover thousands of her town’s photographs from around the world.
